3.2 Configuring Your Computers
This part provides instructions for configuring the Internet settings on your computers to
work with the SOHOSpeed.
Before you begin
By default, the SOHOSpeed automatically assigns all required Internet settings to your PCs.
You need only to configure the PCs to accept the information when it is assigned.
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information manually to
some or all of your computers rather than allow the SOHOSpeed to do so.
Note See ”Assigning static Internet information to your PCs” for instructions.

Assigning static Internet information to your PCs
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information to some or all of your PCs
directly (often called “statically＂), rather than allowing the SOHOSpeed to assign it. This
option may be desirable--but not required--if:
fYou have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want to always
associate with specific computers (for example, if you are using a computer as a
public web server).
fYou maintain different subnets on your LAN.
Before you begin, be sure to have the following information on hand. Contact your ISP
if necessary:
fThe IP address and subnet mask to be assigned to each PC.
fThe IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases, this is the
address assigned to the LAN interface on the SOHOSpeed. By default, the LAN
interface is assigned this IP address: 10.10.10.250. (You can change this number,
or another number can be assigned by your ISP.)
fThe IP address of your ISP’s Domain Name System (DNS) server.
On each PC, follow the instructions relating only to checking for and/or installing the IP
protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions for displaying Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) properties. Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses
for the computer, DNS server, and default gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you
to enter the information manually.
Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet as
the SOHOSpeed’s LAN interface. If the IP addresses you manually assign to
Note your LAN PCs are in a different subnet than the LAN interface, change the
LAN interface IP address as needed.
